Camping and Accommodation
Campsite location is Home Park
📌 What 3 Words
The site is 300m from Windsor and Eton Riverside station and just under 1km from Windsor and Eton Central station. It has views of the castle, water, vehicle access, disabled access.
The police and council approval makes this is a safe camp and we can focus on creating a better protest. The site we are occupying is owned by the Crown Estate and managed by Windsor Council who are facilitating the protest and providing services to ensure it is a safe inclusive and accessible space
Sitting just below the castle walls, it is a perfect spot to take action from. This will be an accessible, liaised campsite should enable more people to feel that they can get involved in the action, bringing greater numbers together. And yes, there will be loos!
Overall look & feel of the site is 'light touch' not lots of structures, if you are bringing 'stuff' be prepared to hand carry it. Please remember that you and others around you on the campsite should take some responsibility for its operations, you can help by volunteering for a role.
All Rebels are asked to follow our rebel agreement which provides a basis for trust and respect. Also read our principles and values which guide the regenerative culture of XR.
